Jon Moxley tried to get WWE to sign Eddie Kingston.
Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston go way back to when they were independent wrestlers fighting for numerous wrestling promotions.
On a recent episode of the ESPR Wrestling Podcast, Eddie Kingston disclosed how Moxley, a good old friend, attempted to get Eddie into WWE with him.
“My only interest was making money. I didn’t care where it was, and I used to tell a lot of young guys on the independents, ‘Don’t be a mark or a fan for letters. Be a mark and a fan for dollar signs. So it didn’t really matter where I was as long as I got paid.”
“But Jon [Moxley] would definitely try. He has his ways, you know what I mean. He would hit me up once a year for like three years, ‘Hey, I sent your tape to [William] Regal. And I wouldn’t have his number saved because he changed his number. And every year, I’d be like, ‘Who’s this?’ ‘It’s Mox!’ ‘Yo, what’s up Mox?’ ‘Nothing.’ Then the next year, ‘Hey, I sent more of your stuff to Regal and WWE.’ Then I’d be like, ‘Who is this? Oh it’s Mox.’ ‘What’s up,’ no answer again. It was like that for three years in a row.”

The two faced off as rivals at the main event of Full Gear 2020 where Moxley beat Kingston to retain the AEW World Title in an I Quit Match.
